What to expect on retreat
Retreats give us the opportunity to go deeper into our practice than we can in daily life and to cultivate stillness and silence in a more profound way.
None of the yoga or meditation sessions are compulsory, so it is possible to practice at whatever pace suits you. Practices include asanas, Spinal Breathing Pranayama, Deep Meditation and Samyama. There are also Satsang sessions, which are an opportunity to ask questions on yoga and to gain an understanding of yogic philosophy.
Unless a retreat is marked as “intermediate” or “advanced”, no previous experience of yoga is necessary to come on a retreat, as all the practices will be taught whilst you are there. There will be time for questions and answers in group sessions.
All food on retreat is vegetarian and other special diets such as vegan or gluten free etc. can be catered for if you let us know in advance.

Retreat Feedback from past retreats
“"This was my first AYP yoga retreat. I really enjoyed it, instruction from both instructors was good and clear, vegetarian and vegan food was amazing by the cooking fairy :) Workshop was good and helped me understand more about AYP yoga. Will definitely go back." (Bev Pinnell, England)
“What a great retreat… , it was intensive but very beautiful for the soul. The practitioners were from all walks of life, reminding me that seekers are all around us, if we only open our hearts to ask or smile. The food was exceptional, the place stunning and peaceful . It will remain with me forever and I took many teachings away with me. There is a great fellowship in practicing together with a worthy teacher. I would encourage anybody to attend at whatever point you are at in your path.” (S.M., United Kingdom)
“I just wanted to thank you deeply for everything you taught me, in words and in conduct. Our time in Ireland was unforgettable, and a real leap forward in my realisation….” (C.B., United Kingdom)
“I just wanted to thank you for yet another lovely retreat weekend. It really helps to keep me on track and motivated in my practice. I feel blessed to have found a true teacher, and the opportunity to take time out to deepen my practice with a great group of people. Your wonderful work inspires and encourages those around you…” (V.H. , Ireland)
“What a wonderful retreat! I am so pleased that I came and that I met you...
I loved the approach and the whole feel of it.” (S.B., United. Kingdom.)
“It were special days, time for practice, for beautiful experiences, and a good brisk walk. Time to reflect, time for questions and answers, time for silence and good laughs. Lovely to be there in good company of likewise souls.” (M.D., Netherlands)
